Check out our Kraken Rum container at @ministryofsound this weekend! We designed it around the idea of the @krakenrum pirate eating squid (kraken) devouring a ship container. The interior was influenced by rum barrels and outside we created a misting system that keeps the punters cool. Easter eggs include tiny krakens smashing tiny ships in the wall display. Keep an eye out for renders too as will start posting those to show concepts vs reality ✌️ Thanks to @thinkingloudau @krakenrumau with @better_sets and @studioplasterers for the build.

The new Art Gallery of Western Australia Design Store is a multiple award winning collaboration between @iankanik @nicbrunsdon and @ianstrange . The refurbishment’s concept is based around honouring the gallery’s existing brutalist hexagon influenced architecture while breathing in a contemporary feel. The modular hexagon plinths we created have magnets joining them together while also having stackable bases to change the heights, creating an infinite number of showcase and table variations in the floor plan. This was done to keep the store visually fresh every month while being easily removable for events. Perforated metal hexagons create casual modular tables and chairs for the cafe. Nic’s monolithic and travertine foyer was brought into the design store’s point of sale language to create a harmonious link between the two. Travertine blocks and offcuts were used the stores displays too. Minimal brushed floor to ceiling aluminum shelving with a bespoke classic library style rolling ladder, showcase Strange’s concept of housing Western Australia’s best selection of global design literature. Thank you to my legendary partners in this project, @artgallerywa for the opportunity, @better_sets and @deco_fitouts_perth for the build, @asia_k for the styling! ✌️ . . . . . . . . #art #design #architecture #interiordesign #storedesign #visualmerchandising #artgallery #perth #westernaustralia #books #library #gallery #fitout #designstore

Launching Red Bull’s Jade edition during Mardi Gras, we transformed one of the rooms at @arqsydney into a luscious forest. Grass, shrubs, fig and apple trees, with aromatic scents of fig and apple filled the air in the space in complete juxtaposition to the dystopia and utopia rooms just outside the doors. @redbull ‘s jade edition fig and apple could be plucked from the apple blossom LED tree and taken to the bar to be paired with your fav drink. 🍏
